= Be. it known that I, OARL HERMAN JAEGER, a subject-of 'the'GermanEmperor, and residing at Leipzig, Germany, have in vented newand useful Improvements in Processes of and Apparatus for Rarefying and Compressing 'Air. and; Gases by Means ofLiquid Acceleratedfb "a Rotor-Wheel; and I do hereby declareg the follow-ingto be afull, clear, and exactfdescription of-"-t-he same. This present invention has for'itszpbject' apparatus for rarefying or compressing air acceleratedijets of:

Another object of this invention-is to provide an apparatus capable of producing rarefiedor compressed air with high useful output. 1

The accompanying drawings show an example of construction ofmy improved apparatus.

Figure 1 is 'alon'gitudinal section and In these drawings, ;;1 indicates the shaft carrying blades-3'- which partially cover the periphery of-th'e wheel, so that water can only-be ejected {fromseparate slots. These blades are, close d flby opposite side walls 4. The water is admitted at theinner periphery of the, Wheel from} the casing 5, closed laterally by CQYBIslGaZandZ into which water is sucked through a pipe (not shown) con nected to 'j the tubular extension-8. Air is sucked through! the passages 9,1 1 Therefore the air surrounds the outer periphery of the rotor-wheel. when therotorfwheel is rapidly rotated, the strips ofwater ejected from the same place themselves .spirally aroundgthef wheel Copiesbf this patent .be obtained a two trically,

Thestrips of water with the confined air enter the'compression chamber, formed of outside to liquid-'and-compressed air escape together "through the annular slot into the collecton si;d e-walls'1 O and reduced toward the.

" Having :fully described my invention,

what I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is r In an apparatus for compressing elastic the combination with 'a rotary impeller for liquid constructed with transversely extended spaced openings in its periphery, whereby thin strips ofliquid may be ejected therefrom, of a compressing chamber surroundin the periphery of said impeller and into'w ich said impeller discharges constructed, with an inlet passage for elastic fluid, an annular peripheral discharge passage and side verge. graduallyfrcnigthe outlet of the impeller to said discharge passage.
